Cancel Culture

Cancel Culture

Hey guys! This week we talk about cancel culture and give our opinions on it. Cancel culture is the act of withdrawing support for a person or company after they have done something questionable or offensive. We dive into what cancel culture is, our perspectives on it, who actually gets canceled, and the pros and cons of this culture. We pose some questions about the toxicity of cancel culture, and whether it is doing more bad than good. We hope you enjoy this week's episode and feel free to contact us and let us know your thoughts!

What is Systemic Racism?

What is Systemic Racism?

Hey guys! I know it's been a while since we last posted, but there has been a lot happening in the world lately. We thought it would be important that this next episode focused on educating people on a topic they may not know much about. Now we are not experts in any capacity, but we felt that it was our job to try and spread word and use any platform that we may have. This week we talk about what systemic racism is and the implications on our society.  Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or comments, we would love to hear from you guys! Thank you guys for listening and we hope you learn something about this topic. Our information will be shown below:


PSA: We've been recording through zoom because of the current social distancing situation, so the audio quality is not the best. But don't worry we will be back together soon to record some more episodes.
